Brew

My morning cup of tea in bed. This isn't such a rare treat; I generally think I'm worth it, but today it was important as preparation. This time last year I set off to visit Munich but today I was going for the burn - I was getting ready to watch the London Marathon. It was important to make sure that I adopted a sensible pace and I'm pleased to say that I made it to the sofa for the mass start. Not bad unless you reflect that David Weir covered more than 26 miles in the time it took me to get down a flight of stairs.

It was tremendous, as always, but exhausting and I needed a rest afterwards. Then work and some domestics and a jolly Sunday roast. It's been emotional.
